Pros: Threads are clean and effective. No real fear of cross-threading.
Light is fairly bright for a AAA flashlight
Fairly sturdy build. Looks like it will hold up to some abuse.
Cons: The tail clicky feels a little cheap and I doubt it is water proof.
Other Thoughts: While not as bright as the more expensive lights, it is brighter than the cheaper lights. You do get what you pay for. Brighter than sku.14881 and worth spending the additional money to get this one.
Bottomline: Buy one and try it out. You'll buy more.

Pros: This light is :
1. Small;
2. Bright for its size (using Li-ion battery);
3. Cheap.
Cons: However, Ultrafire 10440 Li-ion battery does not sit properly to conduct closed circuit (intermitent blinking);
Switch is sloppy at best. Not the smooth action like the Olight M20, the MTE M3-2 etc.
Other Thoughts: Consider the price paid for the little light, the cons can almost be forgotten, though the compatibilty with the Ultrafire Li-ion battery would be desired as this light really shines with the Li-ion batteries. However, this problem can be solve by inserting a
Bottomline: Its really bright for its size.

Pros: An extraordinary little flashlight. I carry it always and use it several times daily. Battery life is fine, given that it's an AAA. More than bright enough. I used it outdoors at night and I'm continually surprised by how bright it is. Good colour, good beam spread. Good manufacturing quality.
Cons: If carried in a pocket with keys or coins, the glass lens can become cloudy with scratches. Recess the glass by 1mm (or add a 1mm extension) and the only problem will go away. Switch seems a little cheap. Add $2 to the selling price and use a very high quality switch and this is a perfect product.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: Unbeatable value. An extraordinary little flashlight.
